Nets only have 1,500 season ticket holders?

The New Jersey Nets better hope that sale goes through to the richest man in Russia soon. They need the dough. And instead of moving to Brooklyn, a place whose residents aren't exactly excited to have them or their horrendous-looking arena setting up shop, they might want to consider Newark, where the city seems to want them and the arena is already built. Seems like that would save them a ton of cash, which they seem to need these days.
An executive of the team is saying that the team only has sold 1,500 season tickets and partial season tickets combined, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.
NoLandGrab: Wait a second, didn't Nets CEO Brett Yormark brag to ESPN Radio's Seth Everett back in July that the Nets were "having one of the best off-seasons that we've had in years?" Guess they had set the bar pretty low.
And to think they followed up "one of the best off-seasons that we've had in years" with the worst start to a real NBA season ever.
